Is there something I'm missing here. Is Harrogate particularly low paying? I work in Glasgow - which has one of the lowest costs of living in the UK - and I would be surprised to see anyone looking for those skill sets here offering anything less that £30k, even for a junior dev.

I'd imagine there are only a few developer jobs in Harrogate, which would keep the salaries low. Glasgow is much bigger.

That's possibly it, but I'd have thought the proximity to Leeds would have offered a good choice of roles within commuting distance.

What does (m/f) denote?

In German, words like "engineer" are gendered and may be misunderstood to mean that only men are sought. So it's very common in job advertisements to put something like this to signal that males and females (and, implicitly, any other gender or non-gender) are invited to apply.

What's it like working there under the new administration? USDS was founded under Obama to repair the healthcare.gov fiasco, right?

They pay you low government salary so you can boost insurance companies' huge corporate profits. Prerequisite is that you have lobotomy or be gullible fool.

There are presumably also fewer developers available in Harrogate to hire into that limited number of roles; especially because they also have the option to commute to Leeds as you say, or work for a higher-paying remote employer. Limited tech markets work both ways.

I'm based in Hull, which — like Glasgow — has a fairly low cost of living, and 28k for this still strikes me as incredibly low.

The Plum Guide is building a marketplace of the world’s best holiday homes. For real! We are taking a systematic and obsessive approach to testing every single home on the planet, and accepting only the top 1%. We do so by putting every home through The Plum Test: a gruelling hospitality exam, which uses a mix of algorithms and physical visits by hospitality experts. We are funded by an all-star cast investor group including Local Globe. We have just closed our Series A round of funding with the objective to take Plum global. The first city we are opening is Paris.

We are building a business that brings world-leading technical excellence alongside incredible visual creatives and brand builders to be globally successful.

We are currently a team of 5 skilled developers working in a fast-paced environment with lots of knowledge sharing and super interesting problems to solve. We are all constantly learning through project ownership and responsibility.

Examples of cool things the team are doing:

- Working on an array of projects to scale our platform to multiple cities. This includes working on i18n, booking platform, payments and our cloud architecture. - Working in sprints to improve conversion, performance and support growth. - Shaping the stack, integration, deployment, testing and agile processes. - Writing awesome code!
